Rns 510 in 56 plate gti

Iv heard I need a can gateway if I install the rns510 satnav is this true cheers

The safe answer is yes you'll need a new gateway. However, as 56 plates were into March 2007 you may have the non battery drain variant of a K version gateway, or even an L. Only way is to check or have it scanned with VCDS

Can you fit gateways yourself?

I can offer new pre-coded gateways for £75 delivered

Mine is an '07 and suffered battery drain. :(

Depends.... I had an rns510 on my 54 plate with a modified firmware and never had an issue with battery drain, depends where you get the unit from and if it can be changed over or wound back so to speak

This apparently is a modified version of the 4020 firmware for units with battery drain issues

I installed it on my 07 with L gateway and it worked a treat.

After stick v10 maps on.

^^I have that and I thought the only modification was to change the disk partitioning percentage?
You have an L unit so nothing to worry about.

For the sake of what EDDIE-NL charges for a coded Gateway i would replace it as you then have the flexibility if you decide to upgrade the firmware at a later date.

Yep, doesn't modify for battery drain.

and when you sell the car you can swop back to the original gateway. And sell the newer gateway
